Arsene Wenger is in the market for another central defender this summer

Arsenal are lining up a move for Lucas Hernandez.

According to reports from Spain, Hernandez – who currently plays for Atletico Madrid – is gaining interest from the Gunners, who are eager to add another defender to their ranks this summer.

Arsene Wenger is believed to want a new centre-back to play alongside Laurent Koscielny and the 20-year old is one of the Frenchman’s main targets, as he believes the player is very talented.

Arsenal though face a big task trying to lure Hernandez away from Atletico Madrid though, with the La Liga side extremely reluctant to let go of a player that they believe has a very bright future. It could take a rather large transfer fee to convince the Spanish side to let him leave.

Hernandez has only featured 15 times in all competitions for Madrid this season, having only broken into the side in December 2015. However, his brief appearances have been enough to convince Wenger that he should be in the Arsenal team.

He was somewhat of an unknown entity until the latter stages of this season, when he burst into the Madrid side. Since then, he has impressed massively for the La Liga side and it could be a huge blow for Atletico if he was to leave this summer.
